Centauro at Madeira Funchal Airport

Pros: The car came straight from car wash but the wind screan was still dirty.

Pros: Efficient

Cons: A bit expensive

Pros: One tire valve cap was missing and I had to pump the tire up ever day as it was losing air. I didn't notice it when picking up the car but it was very annoying.

Pros: Quick, efficient service. Nice, clean, modern and maintained car.

Pros: Good car, clean and good condition. Easy to rent!

Cons: We pay 2 time for insurance since the agent didn't explain to us we already have discover cars coverage.

Pros: Fast and convenient transfer to and from the airport

Cons: poor technical condition of the vehicle

Pros: Good quality car working very well

Cons: Followed the instructions to wait for shuttle and when shuttle arrived the staff appeared with a lot of people from nowhere. Had to wait extra time. Was quick anyway just was a bit annoying. Dont accept American express and had to pay full insurance.

Pros: Great friendly people! 100% professional

Cons: Extra insurance pressure costing more than the car hire. On returning the car 5 days early for personal reasons they wouldn’t refund x5 days of the extra insurance at €26 per day even though it would not be used.

Pros: O carro estava limpo e teve um bom desempenho.

Cons: A pressão para fazer um seguro na Centauro e o depósito não estar completamente cheio, o que complica a devolução, podendo ficar a rent a car beneficiada.

Pros: Fast and smooth final delivery of the car

Cons: The first car we received had a problem with one of the tires, but we were offered a replacement. They were also a bit pushy with their own full coverage which I had already gotten through discovercars.

Pros: They explained everything and did not try to push the insurance on me.

Cons: The car provided was not a compact. They said it was similar but it was a station wagon which is definitely not a compact.

Pros: car

Cons: slow due to the number of renters in the line

Pros: I got the car for my trip & it did the job.

Cons: - The man at the desk was extremely rude and did not want to help answer any of my questions about the car. - the car was in bad quality, sensors not working properly, clutch extremely high, radio didn’t work, Not allowed to look under the bonnet - kept trying to sell us a “better” car at the desk & other insurances - on return I was supposed to be refused the fuel deposit however no email received or refund.

Pros: Staff was super clear about the costs and what additional coverages you could get or not and was honest that the insurance we had purchased already was valid and just listed out the pros and cons of their insurance offering. This is the way it should be done.

Cons: The exterior condition of the car had significant body damage. I have never rented a car with that much damage. In my opinion it should not be rented in that condition until fixed or severely discounted at customer’s option.

Pros: Kindness of the staff

Cons: More explanation about the specific details of the car model could be useful

Cons: for me only distance between airport to ofice is to large

Pros: Attentive staff, brand new and absolutely clean car.

Cons: I would like to apply for a refund for the amount I paid US$76.35, I was never able to look for the car and the reservation was lost, I notified in time that my flight had been cancelled and when I arrived at the car rental office they told me that my reservation had already been cancelled even though I had notified them hours before that my flight had been cancelled. I was unable to rent a car the next day and lost a day of travel.

Pros: Drop off was just excellent.

Pros: Friendly and efficient staff

Cons: Car had many small damages and checking it took quite a while. System of recording damage a little confusing too.

Pros: Very nice and helpful people

Pros: snelle manier van ophalen wagen, perfect

Cons: iets minder snel bij afzetten wagen, maar ze waren wel vriendelijk

Pros: Efficiency, clear and speedy handling.

Cons: Very friendly

Cons: Continuing text. Recorded message says refunds can tale up to 12 days depending on clients bank. Question is: my bank is the same for fuel and security deposits. I got refunded for security deposit but not the fuel !! Moreover I have to spend time to go after this, so this is a bad service !!

Cons: Centauro cancelled our booking. Unfortunately we missed the pick up time due to our flight being delayed, and when we called them upon landing, Centauro advised that they’d already cancelled the booking and said that we couldn’t pick the car up later that same day. We were still charged the deposit.

Pros: Reception staff were fantastic. Very good, will use again when I return

Pros: Employees were very Nice and available to answers all the questions

Cons: Pick up service should be more organized and the car should be in a better conditions from safety point of view (worn tyres).

Pros: Som spokojný čo sa dohodlo to dodržali , pozíciám aj na budúce . Keď majú pobočku v Grecku pozíciám aj tam (Kefalonia)

Cons: Really not nice a representstive of the Company at the check in.

Pros: fast efficient and friendly

Pros: Quick return car process Fast transfer to airport

Cons: Sales agent forced the daily company insurance too hard. Even after saying we had discovery cars extra. Class type was Suv but car was old and tired with 60000km.

Pros: Friendly efficient staff. Hessle free drop off.

Cons: Car was not clean.

Pros: Friendly staff and thorough explanation of Renta. Contract with no meaningful effort to upsell

Cons: Their hours of service was inflexible with returning car due to an early morning flight.ight out. Would have been nice to have an alternative drop off site at airport.

Pros: Simple and easy

Cons: Car was underpowered for the area but there is more powerful alternatives that I would go for next time

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful

Cons: Cars were broken, first had completely worn down brake pads and the second had a broken window.

Pros: Everything was ok 👍

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I would like to praise your employee, to whom we returned the car, but unfortunately, upon receiving the car, we had problems regarding the reservation and the imposition of an additional payment regarding window and tire insurance. During our trips, we regularly rent cars, but only with you did we come across a preliminary "payment" of fuel and a deposit of EUR 1050, which seems to us to be an excessive amount, the maximum amount with other companies was EUR 300 so far ...

Cons: Therefore, in the future, we will choose companies that have more favorable conditions for our budget. Best regards, Matjaž Pur We like: The car was great and perfectly cleaned.

Pros: Car ran well, but 14 identified marks of damage that the client is expected to identify, document, and then look for additional, undocumented damage should be part of the car rental experience. This company should repair their cars instead of just overcharging clients for the damage.

Cons: At pick-up, the agent said i would not be charged for damage smaller than a 4.5 cm diameter circle. At drop-off a missing piece of plastic on the passenger side mirror was identified that was smaller than 4.5 cm. The agent insisted i needed to pay 160 euros to have it repaired even though it was smaller than 4.5 cm diameter. Although i cannot prove it, i believe this damage was there prior to me picking up the car. Either way, i should not have been charged for it.

Pros: Simple

Cons: Staff could be more friendly and car had worn tires.

Pros: Communication, speed of pick-up and drop off

Cons: Some parts of car interior were not completely clean when picking up but this was not any big issue.

Pros: Service was fast, easy. Stuff is friendly and helpful. Also prices are adequate.

Pros: Easy returning

Cons: The car should have new brake pads in the front. It was worn too much and was noisy

Pros: Everything was smooth and fast. With the extra insurance we did not need to worry about any scratch on the car.

Cons: It was a bit far from the airport, but they had shuttles back and there, so overall no negative things.

Pros: All services upto payment were good

Cons: Was charged 30 Euros over the bill without explanation and refund.

Cons: Fiat 500 but brakes didn't really work, either windscreen wipers, underinflated tires, and slipping 3rd and 4th gears. It was an unsafe car that had been in so many accidents and internal-external damages to be on the road.

Cons: minimum service

Pros: Polite, quick and efficient

Cons: Would not extend rental for 3 hours longer for drop off without charging exorbitant fee

Pros: All was so smooth and easy! In the end we forgot foldable pram in car boot and they brought it to me in 20 mins back! Thank you very much!

Cons: -

Pros: Very friendly people

Pros: No problems on pick up and dropping the car

Cons: Strange sounds from cars in some situations (maybe something with brake discs or pads; sometimes knocking from engine when driving uphill; I do not understand cars)

Pros: Super nice personnel and really fast service

Pros: Quick drop off Friendly staff

Cons: The service point is kind of far away The pick up took some time. All reasonable.

Pros: Wynajem bez problemu, polecam.

Pros: Nice staff, drop off was nice and easy, and fast.

Cons: It wasn't clear where the pickup point was, too many people needed the same shuttle, details werent ready yet, so everything took a long time to register everyone. Almost 1,5 hour to pick up the car

Pros: They give me a better car than I hired.

Cons: The car had the brakes in medium condition and some pieces of the floor fell.

Pros: Quick and friendly service

Cons: Quick and hassle free

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Long waiting time for shuttle to the pickup place.

Pros: I will not use again - hugely POOR customer service!

Cons: POOR.

Pros: Once I found out about the van pick-up at the arrival terminal，it was easy.

Cons: The address of the Centauri office should have been sent to me so that I could have gone directly to it in my taxi instead of going to the airport first and waiting for the van.

Pros: Friendly and not pushy about additional insurance like often experienced

Pros: Pick-up from the airport, quick handing over of the car.

Cons: We choose to not take the upgraded insurance package. The staff member kept persuading us to get it. He made comments like "If you scratch a wheel, that'll cost you around 280 euro's, so that the same as the insurance" and "Alright, you dont have to take it, but if you damage something, I have to repair it, and it is not cheap!". Then he "gave us a better car for free!", which was a bigger diesel, but with dents all around and wobbly brakes.

Pros: * Nice price and good staff * Honesty about taking pictures of a car (do it and be detailed!) * No problem with exchanging car (alleged problem with breaks)

Cons: * I don't know how queue works if you're taken with other drivers to the point

Cons: There were no staff for two hours to check in

Pros: The best and cheapest car rental service in Madeira and Portugal

Pros: Staff were helpful and efficient

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Quick drop off

Cons: No collection when arranged at 1pm despite several phone calls and commitments to collect me I waited 2.5 hours before getting a Uber myself to the depot. Where it appeared they didn’t have enough cars and were providing cars to people that made their own way there. This was incredibly frustrating and no one at the depot could tell me why.

Pros: Very bad service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: No hidden fees and the car was good

Cons: The pick up took forever. 20 min wait at the airport and then 1h+ waited in line to pick up the car. Drop off was easy and the security deposit was released quickly ( CC)

Pros: Although off Airport, it's very close with a very regular shuttle.

Pros: Mini bus transfer delayed because the flight arrived almost an hour early but once at the desk very quick and efficient

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great service.

Cons: Everything

Pros: Very straight forward service with no one trying to persuade you into doing additional services.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Friendly

Cons: Not located in the airport and car engine was small so difficult to get up hills

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, nice, quiet premises, shuttle transfer from/to airport.

Cons: Only one person at the counter at the time of our visit which made the pick-up an extremely long procedure as there were other customers collecting cars at the same time.

Pros: Good price, even with full insurance competitive with prices on other rental agents with standard insurence. Clean new car.

Cons: Only one from two agent speak english, so we need to wait around 1/2 hour when picking the car to discuss the scretches on the doors with english spokenn agent. I was offered a car with a 3/4 tank, saying that I had to return exactly 3/4, neither more !!! nor mine, otherwise I will pay a fine. This condition (more) seemed really obscure to me and I refused the car, so I finally get car with a full tank. It is possible to pay deposit also by debit card, requirement of credit card is useless.

Pros: People were nice

Cons: The pricing you see on comparsion sites isn't the price you pay unless you pay over £1,000 as a depoit.

Pros: Very friendly. Drop-off was very efficient, minibus was waiting for us to take us to the airport. Rental location is off-site, but very close to the airport.

Cons: Had to wait for almost 30 minutes to be picked up at the airport, which was explained with a shift change of the minibus driver. Car provided was very basic and under-powered and the paintwork had numerous scratches and some dents. The car I ordered was described as "Fiesta or equivalent" yet in that category Centauro Madeira only rent out bottom-of-the-range Fiat Puntos, which are a far cry from a Fiesta.

Pros: They were helpful, easy to work with and efficient with the whole process.

Cons: Nothing - in fact my son-in-law ahs since booked their car for summer because of our experience!

Pros: positive about the questions asked but there were problems with this rental which are not covered by your questions

Cons: staff not as quite as friendly as they had been when I declined to take the excess insurance. It was dark when checking the car over and upon return there was some damage to the wheel trim. I am confident that I did not cause the damage and feel that I missed it when picking up the car, but not much I can do about it. I disputed it and was promised a call from their client services, but they have still not bothered calling me despite me reminding them by email.

Pros: It was quick when we returned the car

Cons: Please read below

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Car was in good condition and suited our needs generally. Only problem was it was underpowered for accessing our accommodation at Cabo Girao.

Cons: Nothing. I would be happy to use them again.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff. Everything went smoothly with the collection and drop off of the car

Cons: Could not find the representative when we arrived at the airport, I had to ring the office to find out what was happening. We were then told that the driver would meet us outside and be with us in 10 minutes

Pros: Very kindness

Cons: Don´t yet refund my fuel costs (62€) in my VISA. I delivered the car with the full tank
